Kyle Busch flew to Nashville to compete in the Federated Auto Parts 300 in Nashville, Tennessee. As one of two Sprint Cup competitors to make the journey from the Poconos attempting to run for both series' championships, Busch dominated the race winning convincingly leading 173 of 300 laps. Customary for a Busch victory, he stood upon his car's window sill and bowed to the crowd often to a cascade of boos of fans who don't like his antics.
For the Nashville races, the trophy is a classic Gibson Les Paul electric guitar, an instrument guitarists crave to play. How did Kyle Busch, l'enfant terrible of NASCAR respond?
He turned holding the guitar by the neck and attempted to smash it on the victory lane floor. On first strike, the mighty Gibson held up well. So much for the idiot's response. Is that any way to behave before the race sponsors and hosts who presented that award? Disgraceful!!!
Message to Kyle Busch, you're no Jimi Hendrix or Pete Townshend. You're not even a punk rocker. You're just a punk, a smart-assed punk. Forget comparing your antics to those of young Dale Earnhardt's or Darrell Waltrip's. Their controversial behavior was of an entirely different character. Oh character, an attribute you sure seem to lack.
Like it or hate it, young Busch is one of the most talented drivers to emerge in a long time, perhaps since Tony Stewart, maybe even Jeff Gordon, but nobody likes a smart-ass, but for Kyle he is a leader is the anal attributes department. Kyle, you're an all-world asshole, you know it. You're proud of it, and for that, we might recognize your abilities but somehow to even say, we respect your driving skills might be pushing it.
Walk like a man. Two drivers younger than you, Joey Logano and Brad Kesolowski are doing just fine in that department. How a classy gentleman like Joe Gibbs puts up with your antics is hard to figure, but he did once coach Dexter Manley, but that's another story.
Kyle, you're an asshole.
